July 26, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Bats Discussion: Need New Bat Mine finally broke in. I like it. It was also nice meeting you Ed.
July 26, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Website comments Discussion: hitting the middle Nothing wrong with hitting middle so long as your not trying to hit the pitcher. Why would one give up hitting to 33% of the field?
July 26, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: pitcher safety Great idea as with two strikes you usually go middle
July 26, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: maturity Nice post
July 21, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Leave It Go I sometimes play mush-ball in a league with metal bats and 265' fences where hitting HR's happen as frequently for me as they do on 300' fences with senior bats. Hitting a ball 300' plus is more fun.
July 11, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Blowing up the middle in Senior Softball - are screens next??? Hitting to the middle is 1/3 of the feld. Why would one restrict themselves by not hitting to 1/3 of the field? Trying to intentionally hit a pitcher is an entirely different matter.
July 5, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What is Senior Softball to you? I like all the answers above especially Butch's. I might add to that, we are seeing more and more awesome softball complexes which really enhances the enjoyment & experience of playing.
July 3, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: why do we need seeding games I like the seeding games as it gives teams who don't play a lot of tournaments, an opportunity to get warmed up. A 2-game elimination round would be frustrating if you got ko'd early.
June 28, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Stepping out of the batters box I should also add that the RAC Complex in Lacey, WA is a terrific softball complex to play in and the tournament was run first class with what looked like very even and competitive teams in all divisions. Got very luck with the weather as well.
June 28, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Stepping out of the batters box Thanks for a good explanation.
June 28, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Stepping out of the batters box Exactly ...Gary19 and Mr. Manassas
June 28, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Stepping out of the batters box SSUSA Staff: I think you are correct in that it’s the permanent design of the box on the artificial turf as I have never encountered this before, not even at Golden Eagle. I am thinking the box was designed for a strike zone with a home plate in mind and not a mat. I also think BruceInGA described the problem pretty well. The placement of the box is different when using a mat as compared to the strike zone. That 17” is significant. Good pitchers will throw a low flat pitch that will catch the front of the mat and if you’re not in front of the plate you can’t hit that pitch so it becomes a strike. If you do hit it, you will likely step forward, out of the box.
June 27, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Stepping out of the batters box Seen a number of players this past weekend, including myself, get called out in Lacey, WA for stepping outside (in front) of the batters box during the act of hitting a pitched ball. I assume the calls were based on rule 1.32 A. and it seems a little broad and needs clarification. If one has both feet in or on the batters box line and their forward stride on contacting the hit ball caused their front foot to land outside or in front of the batters box, does the rule apply? 1.32 ILLEGALLY BATTED BALL An illegally batted ball occurs when the batter hits the ball fair or foul and: A. The entire foot is completely outside the lines of the batter’s box and on the ground. B. Any part of the foot is touching home plate. C. An illegal or altered bat is used.
June 21, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Western Nationals Thank you gentlemen, a bunch of us are trying to book hotels. Let’s hope its Woodlands then, as the synthetic fields are excellent to play on and seem to be gaining in popularity. We will be playing on synthetic fields this weekend at RAC in Lacy, WA.
June 20, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Western Nationals Do you remember how far apart those complexes are Dog? Will you be there? Bruins...they deserved it as they were the better team.
June 20, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Western Nationals Does anyone know what softball complex will be used for the 60 AAA Western Nationals in Yolo County?
June 15, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: Bats Discussion: hitting Focus! I like when a pitcher throws a curve or knuckle as it makes me look at the ball harder. Same thing when a pitcher starts goofing around...I dial in more.
June 10, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rocking reno 60 AAA Finally – a sensible team that would let me play anywhere I want ~:) You guys have a very good club with a bunch of really good people so I am not surprised you won in Reno & to win over MTC is no small feat. I would love to live in AZ during the winter but business interests keep me in Vancouver ...so far. I do love hanging out in Phoenix for a couple weeks during the Worlds and look forward to seeing you again. Perhaps we will run into each other in Sacramento? ...Jimmy K
June 9, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rocking reno 60 AAA No worries Dog. I still sponsor, and therefore they let me play on the Enviro-Vac 40 and 50 teams when I can
June 8, 2011 Enviro-Vac	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: rocking reno 60 AAA There were some very good teams in Reno that we (Master Marauders 60 AAA from BC) enjoyed playing. Thanks for posting the results Dog and nice hitting on the weekend. Jim K Marauders 1st base
